. i see Hanz's name on projects and he's not really the composer actually... like example is Prehistoric Planet soundtrack for season 2 was composed by Anze Rozman. but on the title, Hanz's name is on it. So what part did Hanz actually do? I follow Anze and he even had custom instruments constructed for the album by someone he knew. He never mentions Hanz in any of the videos. So i don't understand why Hanz's name is on the title for composing the soundtrack. I'm really not a fan of Hanz after he spewed hate on a smaller composer over a sample library discussion on Facebook, Hanz may have had too many drinks that day i'm guessing. The person was just asking about Erhu sample libaries and Hanz went off saying "why don't you find someone to sample and play the erhu like I did" and he was really mean about it, you can find this online if you look. Yea i'm sure all of us just can call up Tina Guo to come chill and record a session lolololol wtf. He's got Guthrie Govan in his band, Pedro Eustache. does hanz even write anymore? or just orchestrate?
@@Maplefoxx-vl2ew Someone will hire Hans and he’ll have a few theme ideas etc that he might play on the piano. He sends those to composers who work under him and they turn it into a full soundtrack. He’s definitely involved but it is sad that any composer that puts in time isn’t getting credited for the work. That’s definitely something about the industry that needs to change.
@@Maplefoxx-vl2ew he does own a media company f people who earn a salary by selling the rights to their music to him. In turn he teaches them how to compose
All of this hit like a bus. Thanks so much for sharing! I’m looking forward to participating in your coaching in the future when time and money aren’t so tight.
Great video! As a 17 year old about to go to uni for music I'm nervous about getting into the industry as it seems so difficult. Will definitely focus on starting to network when I get to uni.
I am an aspiring orchestrator from a small town named queretaro, this video helps me keep my hopes up! I am team remote haha already won some small international awards thanks to working on digital! Thank you so much for these inspiring videos! Please keep uploading more :)
Couldn't agree more with your points about moving to LA for music. I think that it is still a viable path, because some people find success doing it, but many more end up working a non-music job for many years to make ends meet. For me, the right answer was moving to Nashville and using the money that I save by not paying CA income taxes and rent prices to stay afloat. I'm getting by ok, but there is no way that I could survive in LA with the amount of income I have at this point in my career.
It's been rattling around in my head! In the meantime, there's a massive module in the Composing Career Bootcamp all about networking 🙂 zachheyde.com/composing-career-bootcamp
awesome Video! What I read a lot in Facebook groups is that people have huge problems drafting contracts. Nobody knows exactly how writers share publisher share works. How can you cover your music. Especially with low budget productions. Is it work for hire or do you simply license your music, for example for a low budget short film. It's actually crazy that something like that ends up failing, but nobody talks about it. Do you have to send a cue sheet etc.? Thank you
Here is where I disagree with him. 1. The first order of business of being a composer is to form a portfolio. We do this by making music. With out a strong portfolio, no one will hire you. So what is portfolio? What is his show reel or sound cloud? Those are two ways to create a portfolio. 2. If you want to create following use streaming platforms. 3. Networking is important. Networking anywhere you can.
I definitely agree that having a portfolio is essential! This video is about the three things to start doing if you're NOT planning on living in Los Angeles, but for sure there's lots of work to be done no matter where you live. I've had much more success on RU-vid than on streaming platforms, but I'm sure everyone's journey is different!
